ABSTRACT
Historical sources are any traces of the past that remain. Archaeologists' ideas about how advanced early British communities were in about 1,100 BCE were challenged in 2016, by the discovery of a large Bronze Age wheel, which must have been a symbol of wealth for a family living on the outskirts of the Fenns. Reflective Transformation Imaging enables reader to read the Vindolanda birch tablets which tell us about life on Hadrian's Wall, from CE 92 to 103. New discoveries are continually recorded on television and in newspapers, sometimes by amateurs. Archaeologists knew there was a Roman road leading from Ribchester to Lancaster but had been looking for it in the wrong place. Piaget offers some insights into the progression in children's ability to make inferences from sources. His work suggests a sequence in development in which, at first, children's thinking is dominated by intuitive trial and error, by the child's own experiences and feelings.
